The history of the organization of Christianity has been in reality the history of successive readjustments of form to altered circumstances. Its power of readjustment has been at once a mark of its divinity and a secret of its strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56293]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know anything about luck.

He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28005]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My days are never long enough.

We do not get the soul in different ways, under different laws, from those in which we get the body and the mind. If a man does not exercise his arm, he develops no biceps muscles and if a man does not exercise his soul, he acquires no muscle in his soul, no strength of character, no vigour of moral fibre, nor beauty of spiritual growth. Love is not a thing of enthusiastic emotion. It is a rich, strong, manly, vigorous expression of the whole round Christian character -- the Christ-like nature in its fullest development. And the constituents of this great character are only to be built up by ceaseless practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm getting a trainer.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is insufficient temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is insufficient temptation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58938</guid></item></channel></rss>
